Not charging with headlights on

Now you can take it a step further and check the regulator wiring. Remove the regulator, and jumper the two regulator wires together. This, essentially, does the same thing as connecting the field terminal to battery. Run the car long enough to see if it charges.

If it does, double check absolutely sure that the regulator is well grounded, and replace the regulator.


I had to change the field wire between regulator and alternator, as wire was hard and braking, also change the regulaotr and now it is all working as it should.

Thank you 67Dart273 for your help on this.
